For that price, you can get this, which imho is better (especially in terms of CPU) brows.gif
But its smaller though...
14"

Guys, does Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 430 worth it? Price at RM2449 for this spec. i 5-2520M 4GB 16GBSSD+500GB INTEL HD3000.
Honestly i don't know why the hell i have thinkpad in my mind. Maybe due to rigid build and matte display. sweat.gif

Any opinion?

Depends on what you're using the laptop for?
If you are going for a ThinkPad Edge, go for the one with Ivy Bridge, its better nod.gif

True. Thinking for the i5 3210m, pricing at RM2699. Act this thinkpad series for what bro? I buy for the sake of the build and matte screen only. laugh.gif
Usage, my daily work just on the internet and multitask. Even low end B9xx will be enough. sweat.gif

ThinkPad Edge are more reliable business notebooks, you can't really compare them to budget-line laptops with similar specs yo brows.gif
Summore the ThinkPad Edge have spill-resistant keyboards. They used to come with 2 years on-site warranty as well, but I'm not sure whether they still have it or not tongue.gif

I get you bro. biggrin.gif
Sadly these days only 1 year international warranty for edge series. Damn. Huhu..

Ok. Cancel go for Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 430. I decide to go with Dell Vostro 3450. Got offer at RM1700 with this spec, i5-2520M, 4GB, 500GB ,HD6630 1GB. Vostro ok or not ah? sweat.gif

That 3450 most likely either old stock or refurbish. hmm.gif

Vostro are good picks, especially when covered by Dell's superb warranty brows.gif
Vostro 3450 is relativel yolder, but at that price, its a steal if original, that is laugh.gif

Remember to extend warranty to 3 years, if not no point getting a Dell laugh.gif

Thanks bro. The RM1700 is FreeDOS. But he offer RM1800 with Genuine Win7 Pro. Damn sweet. Will check the authentication upon COD. And the set is Dell Refurbish unit. Need to call Dell personally to upgrade to 3yrs warranty. tongue.gif
